Neuronal Protein Farnesylation Regulates Hippocampal Synaptic Plasticity and Cognitive Function

Wenhui Qu et al.

Summary: Protein prenylation is crucial for regulating cellular signaling pathways, with FT and GGT enzymes playing essential roles in the process. FT haplodeficiency rescues cognitive function in Alzheimer's disease models, whereas GGT deficiency leads to synaptic and cognitive deficits. A novel prenylomic analysis identifies distinct pools of prenylated proteins affected by specific knockout of FT and GGT in forebrain neurons, indicating their essential roles in synaptic and cognitive functions.

Perspectives on ROCK2 as a Therapeutic Target for Alzheimer's Disease

Audrey J. Weber et al.

Summary: ROCK2 is a kinase that regulates autophagy and cell skeleton contraction, playing a significant role in Alzheimer's disease by promoting the degradation of tau proteins, representing a potential therapeutic pathway for the disease.

Protein farnesylation is upregulated in Alzheimer's human brains and neuron-specific suppression of farnesyltransferase mitigates pathogenic processes in Alzheimer's model mice

Angela Jeong et al.

Summary: This study found that levels of FT and membrane-associated H-Ras were increased in individuals with AD and MCI compared to those with no cognitive impairment. Deleting neuronal FT mitigated memory impairment and amyloid neuropathology in transgenic AD model mice by suppressing amyloid generation and reversing hyperactivation of mTORC1 signaling. Targeting FT or its downstream signaling pathways could be a potential therapeutic strategy against AD.

Summary: Alzheimer's disease has a significant impact on individuals and society as a whole, with a large number of patients in the United States and a potential for continued growth in the future. The value of unpaid caregivers has increased despite a decline in their numbers, and healthcare costs are on the rise. Racial and ethnic disparities in healthcare persist, highlighting the need for greater diversity in dementia care workforce and clinical trials.
